Thanks to widespread journalistic deceit, leftist lies and carefully loaded phrasing, the “debate” was consumed by dishonesty, ignorance and misrepresentations of proposed changes to the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act. “Jim Crow” and “anti-gay” were the phrases of the week on many news programs.

Regardless how you felt about #SB1062, we should have never known how the media felt about it – Yet from @AP to @MSNBC, we knew exactly

According to many headlines, anti-gay Gov. Jan Brewer was considering anti-gay legislation by anti-gay politicians plotting nefarious anti-gay anti-gayness. Some of the headlines after Brewer vetoed the bill:

There are many Americans who support religious protections and worried the Arizona bill was poorly-designed. Was the bill too broad? Too vague? Was it likely to have unintended consequences? What would constitute a “substantial burden” on the free exercise of religion?

Those would be reasonable questions in a fair, informed debate. But instead, thousands of column inches were devoted to demonizing Americans concerned about religious freedom as “anti-gay” bigots. A mob composed of ignorant parrots and willfully deceitful tools skewed the debate, aided by media malfeasance.

Whatever flaws might have existed in the bill, all most Americans heard was “it’s bad because shut up, homophobe.”

What % –in real, uncovered by media– of RFRA cases deal with gay stuff. According to media right now, it's 100%. I bet it's closer to 1%.
